The afternoon Spanish
siestas were a refreshing treat, but the late evening suppers took some getting
used to for the hungry American exchange student.

“Supper traditionally
wasn’t served until 9 or 10 p.m., but by 5 o’clock I would be starving, so I
would fix myself a sandwich, which offended my host family," says Ryan Warner,
reminiscing about his days as a Study Abroad student in Castellan de la Plana, a
city on the eastern coast of Spain.
